[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10238333, member: 2844"]I agree. This is an amateur painting, no quality at all. And the asylum was inland, in Saint Remy, no sea in sight. His paintings from that period reflect the bright Provençal colours, notably yellows and blues. He painted the beautiful asylum garden and the nearby fields and mountains (Les Alpilles). He did paint a few works with a more demure colouring, mostly set in the evening. In those paintings blues are dominant. His Millet-inspired paintings have the typical swirls and yellows and blues of the later period van Gogh, and none of them depict a maritime subject. Had he painted the sea, he would have had to go on an assisted outing to the Mediterranean. This would have been documented. And of course Provençal fishermen didn't wear the warm and wintery clothing the above fisherman wears.:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
